Spindle motor rewind

Here's a free one:

Although lately I've been using this one as it's on the university computers.

Anyway, Geoffrey, have you got a picture of the stator inside your motor? I'd be interested in rewinding it / working out how for you. Who told you that it wasn't possible and what reason did they give?

Thanks for your reply and offer Jonathan. I do not have any pictures of the internals of my spindle as I have never thought about dismantling it. I have a couple of these spindles which I love to use because of the air release collet chuck and work around the fact that I am limited to 3.172mm shank tools. As I have a "spare" spindle I would be happy to take a chance that it does not work if you are prepared to try. The impossible comment came from various commercial rewinders and I had very little faith in that I believe that nothing is impossible!!! Perhaps a little difficult sometimes. The most logical comment came from one rewinder who said that it would be difficult on a small diameter spindle to use the heavier duty wire necessary to change. These spindles are lovely (ex pcb machine), but I only have one HF inverter and I would like to get one running on a standard 400hz inverter as I have started to strip down another machine which has a cutting area of 540x600mm.

I apologise if I seem to be hi-jacking this thread, but I did start a somewhat similar thread about my spindle and had no response. G.
